Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Claude Code, Plugin

TraceLink

Turn an append-only findings register into a linked note vault, and connect every finding to the code it names — file and line.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    benchmarks/f2_file_refs.py, line 73 shutil.rmtree(work, ignore_errors=True)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    src/tracelink/linker.py, line 228 #: `deploy-stage.sh`, `.env.example` - but not a bare dotfile like `.env`,

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
